OO-DLC (cn 152) Electrifying! Avoiding thunderstorms near Karlsruhe on our flight from Brussels to Athens. Dispite the turbulence, it produced a nice picture. (exposure time: 4 seconds, tripod used). Not sure how to call this: static discharges? Saint Elmo's fire? Arcing? Anyway, very interesting!

Very nice!! truly electrifying!

A visitor from United States posted Tue June 20, 2006:
Fantastic shot! Kind of scary but only in sight, it doesnt hurt the plane and obviously everything was OK. Been on a plane once, a prop plane that got hit by lightning. Surronded by white light then everything goes off, scary yes but planes are made for that and we landed without problem. Keep up the good work!

An incredible sight, nice catch!

A visitor from United States posted Tue May 9, 2006:
Wow, this is a great shot. LIKE the way the plasma is arching away from the flight deck. Just think of the engineering that went into protecting todays ac from such stuff as emi, emf, lightning, and so on!

A visitor from Germany posted Fri January 13, 2006:
